Nordic-design goods for the table and the room
The announced lineup includes "Kippis" items, Gustavsberg ceramics and Lisa Larson lions. It is arranged so you can compare both things to use and things to display in a room.
The store is a cooperating store for "Swedish Ceramics: Life with Gustavsberg," which begins on October 17 at the Akita City Senshu Museum of Art. Ahead of the museum's exhibition, it presents goods to bring into daily life in the store.
